Sura 42
Aya 18
18
يَستَعجِلُ بِهَا الَّذينَ لا يُؤمِنونَ بِها ۖ وَالَّذينَ آمَنوا مُشفِقونَ مِنها وَيَعلَمونَ أَنَّهَا الحَقُّ ۗ أَلا إِنَّ الَّذينَ يُمارونَ فِي السّاعَةِ لَفي ضَلالٍ بَعيدٍ

Yusuf Ali

Only those wish to1 hasten it who believe not in it: those who believe hold it in awe, and know that it is the Truth. Behold, verily those that dispute concerning the Hour are far astray.
  • The Unbelievers do not believe in Judgment and laugh at it. They say defiantly, “If there is to be a punishment, let it come at once!” The threefold answer to this will be found in n. 1810 to 13:6. With those who believe, the case is different. They know that the Hereafter is an awful Reality, and prepare for it. They see clearly on what a wrong track the scoffers are!
